I'm not a politico with media training and staff on retainer to fact check, but seems to me one of the pillars of being a democratic regime is, you know, holding elections.

The last free and fair elections were in 2016 and Brexit, after that shocker everyone opted for a 'managed' democracy.
It is all managed either before voting with international agreements, (social-)media propaganda and by trying to harass, bully and threaten candidates or after the outcome of the actual vote by blocking the winner from implementing his new policies or simply denying him taking office (see Geert Wilders). I'm curious what will happen in the UK. My bet is labour and the tories will govern together if that is the only way to keep the 'third parties' out of power. Someone like RFK Jr. , who wants to dismantle the military industrial complex in favor of humanitarian pursuits will never be allowed near the White House. They won't debate him, they won't invite him and whenever he gets some traction the hit pieces appear. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing but its certainly not Democratic.

"but literally two minutes ago you said you wanted to hook up"
yeah, imagine that, finding out new information can change your mind, imagine if YOU said you wanted to hook up with someone and the next words they said were "by the way I can't wait to vote for Trump again"

We haven't had a functioning government since 2015 at least. The amount of pissing about for no benefit whatsoever is extravagant in a way that the human mind cannot fully comprehend.

The amount of junk science in these reports is astounding... Quote:When we think of climate and environmental issues such as climate-linked disasters or biodiversity loss, we don’t tend to think about gender. At first glance, it may seem irrelevant. So, what's their evidence for this claim? This report is what they use to support their claim: https://www.undp.org/blog/women-are-hit-hardest-disasters-so-why-are-responses-too-often-gender-blind Quote:The statistics are staggering; when disaster strikes, women and children are 14 times more likely than men to die. Let me use a real example: of the 230,000 people killed in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 70 percent were women. Ummm, tsunamis caused by undersea earthquakes are climate-related disasters now? What the fuck are these people taking about?

I'm honestly starting to lean towards soulless bankers like Rutte and Sunak, mostly because the populists don't have the support and networks to actually enact their policies and fill seats with suitable candidates and the left only wants climate hysteria, forced diversity and the latest edition of the rainbow flags on every government building. The EU has been pissing about since 2008 or so even longer than the tories. It took them 8(!) years to come up with a new migration pact, which was basically the same as the previous one. I certainly hope I'm wrong and Labour in the UK can finally show that a left wing government will help the middle class and workers and not just indulge in petty identity politics and climate doom as inflation soars because of their spending.

Maybe the men were inland working and the women were in coastal areas in homes.
IDK but none of those deaths are related to climate change

I feel like a lot of this shit goes "underprivileged people have to live near water like medieval plebs so they can fish and wash -> ocean levels are rising -> waterfront plebs are gonna find their homes underwater first"

Germany seems like a madhouse. Last week their media doxes and calls for firing and jailing of Germans singing at a party. Days ago you have this stabbing, and the media frames it as an unidentified man in censored photos with mysterious goals going on a stabbing spree against the far right. I don't know if it's battered woman syndrome or what.
